Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Naruto or any characters associated with it. If I did, I kind of wouldn't have to make fanfics about it. I do own the plot though, so nuh!
Pairings: Sasu/Naru, Iru/Kaka, Gaara/Naru, and Naru/Sasu.
Warnings: Definite yaoi. Characters in a state of rabid OOCness at odd times. Don't like, don't read. Rating moved up to M because of stuff that'll be happenin in the story later on.
A/N: Sorry for the wait guys, I have had writer's block from hades, and I kind of have no beta, so there's nobody buggin me to get a move on, so yeah, anybody wanna be my beta and help me out here? If you do, just PM me and we'll figure it out. important notice here, I'm thinking about discontinuing this story because there's not much support for it, and I kind of want to rewrite it. Somewhere along the way, my train of plot got derailed and I took a weird turn with the story that I'm not sure was the best for it. I appreciate the support in the number of readers of this story that have been faithful to it. and to Crimson-Tenshi, Mizuki hikari, Unknown289, badlevel50percent, Demonsil, and the anonymous person who called themselves tyi for reviewing. Mizuki hikari gets a shout out for being the one who reviewed more than once. tyi, whoever you are, thanks for the criticism, I needed that. I'm not really that far in the anime, only to the point of the third's funeral. -shrugs- that's tv for ya. So I'm not going to pretend to even be going along with the story line because I don't know as much about the anime or manga as a few others do. If you guys think that I should try to continue this story, I'll do my best to make it a bit better and I will update more often when I'm not suffering writer's block. BUT if you guys agree that I need to rewrite the story, that's fine too.. either way, I'm probably going to do a version of this story that's way different than this one. Maybe I'll type up that one shot idea that's buggin the heck outta me.. who knows? Sorry for this chapter being short, but I've lost a few plot bunnies and I'm still hunting them down, so bear with me. When I type short.. I mean.. this A/N is prolly gonna be longer than the chapter. Gomen y'all.

As the village bid a fond farewell to their beloved Hokage with his two protectors, Arashi allowed his lips to curl up into a feral grin. It was time to go hunting for a brat… a brat that harbored the kyuubi, and kill two birds with one stone… That way, both forces that had stolen everything from him would be eradicated…
Here's the day darkness decends upon the happy faces of ones who expect peace all around and forgot momentarily about the shadows creeping upon them swiftly…
Watching the party preparations going on as if nothing was amiss, gaara feels the beast within him stir uneasily. Something was definately NOT right in the world for Shukaku to be stirring so restlessly within him.
Sasuke looks around the room from his spot over at one of the corners, securing a banner inside of the tent they'd erected for the occasion. Naruto was going to be so shocked to come home to this. Obsidian eyes land on the restless redhead who is currently pacing as if trying to wear a trench in the ground beneath his feet. Raising a dark brow, he wonders about this sudden change in the normally calm young man's attitude. Studying him for a moment longer, Sasuke decides to confront him, but only when he's started growling at people, scaring the others.
Growling in frusturation, Gaara keeps pacing, wanting to know why he has this sudden urge to go after Naruto and bring him back to the village not caring whether or not it will ruin his surprise party. Sasuke's black eyes stop his pacing as they're now face-to-face, something very disconcerting to Gaara who had not realized his guard had been let down. "What?"
Sasuke merely eyes him calmly before answering. "What's wrong Gaara? You were calm a few minutes ago, yet now you're pacing. That doesn't happen without a reason, and it was too easy to sneak up on you, so what's bothering you?"
Knowing the Uchiha was not about to let this one drop until given the wanted information, Gaara softly answers, "Naruto.. I want Naruto back in this village."
"Why? Is he in danger? I doubt that if he is in danger, even this village wouldn't be a safe place for him to be."
"It's better that he be here where we can protect him when there's a fight he can't handle on his own than him being in Suna while both of us are still here decorating. He's safer with us Sasuke and you know it. You feel it too."
Looking into those piercing teal eyes, Sasuke can't help but agree because it was the truth and he'd be a fool to deny it. Hadn't Naruto told him just that morning that there was a dark cloud over the village? At first he'd thought The blonde was speaking of the weather, but the skies are clear and the few clouds that dot the sky are white and fluffy. What then was this dark cloud the dobe had spoken of? Great, now Sasuke was feeling like a dobe himself... with a nod to Gaara, both men set out to find out exactly what's going on.
plot bunnies run away, Beta reader would be nice, opinions of the story whether it should continue or be scrapped are needed...
A/N: Sorry if it sucked, my brain's still suffering from a lil numbness. I love all of y'all and please lemme know what you think. Should I keep going, or completely rewrite this one?
